i love writing papers. devoting all my time and effort to writing long essays about things that don't matter to most people. on the other hand, i hate numbers and statistics...i hate scientific research. it bores me to no end. i seriously think i'm better off researching the boons and banes of the UN, then sitting in a lab for four whole hours staring at the progress of measly califlower. i sometimes wish i were a little more creative..so my narratives sound elegant and fluent. yet i seem to be inclined in concisely writing about the benefits of hiring so-and-so, or how terribly useless some organisations are. maybe i should take a creative writing class. not in NUS of course..where the grey walls stifle imagination and creativity. i want to write poetry, and pen my thoughts and angsts in abstraction. i'm tired of sifting through papers looking for the costs of bat detectors or the head/tail/skull/tooth/penis length of some primate. it irks me when people complain about the papers they have to complete by when and when, and the enormous stack of readings they have to go through before tomorrow. i'd give anything to take their place.
